Will Power

by Sequoia Elisabeth on September 8, 2010

The senses of the mind are tools for us to use in Transition. How effectively you use these 6 tools will determine how successful your transition is. Take will power for instance. Your ability to use self-control, or discipline is immensely valuable in transition. How well are you staying focused on your dream or goals? Are you determined in your actions?

Transition involves changing from one state of mind or being to another and this requires intense will power and self-discipline. In order to stay focused on your dreams and desires a certain inner conviction must be reached. It is like making an agreement with your-self or setting an intention. Let’s say that you desire to lose weight and present your physical form in a certain way.

Your beliefs are the most important factor in this endeavor, and these include your self-image and how you feel about yourself. I love myself and therefor I am willing to exercise, eat healthy foods and only eat when I am hungry. I will maintain my perfect vision of the physical form I wish to present. “I WILL” This statement in itself is setting that intention and sealing the agreement with yourself or higher self. It is a re-alignment of your thoughts to that which you desire! Instead of focusing on the illusion of the present situation, you are focused on the reality of your desired results. There is a certain feeling you get when you attain this goal, use the power of imagination and will to reach this feeling now. Hold onto this feeling and use it as your guiding light.

Will power is an inner guidance you use consciously to motivate yourself based on your inner convictions and goals. Go deep within your heart and feel your desires. Get in touch with these inner convictions and goals so that you can use your will power to stay focused and attain these goals easily. Once you become clear on your goals or inner purpose, and use your will power to stay focused, it becomes a habit. You become the person you desire to be! You have transitioned.
